Projects
- Small Schools 2-year Action Research Project - Two meetings took place with the Department. These resulted in Minister Norma Foley TD launching a two-year action research project aimed at supporting small rural schools. The innovative project aims to encourage small schools to cluster together in local groups, enabling them to collaborate and identify common challenges and trial innovative solutions. This project is being developed by a working group of school management bodies and teachers’ unions with the Department of Education, as part of the programme of work of the Primary Education Forum (PEF). The PEF comprises all primary education partners, including parent representatives, working collaboratively with the Department of Education.
